Stefan GP is reported to have signed a driver to complete its 2010 lineup.

Although without an official entry to race this season, the Serbian outfit
is believed to have already signed the Toyota-backed former Williams driver
Kazuki Nakajima.

At least one of the Cologne-designed Stefan cars has been painted Serbian
national red ahead of its track debut, which according to rumours could now
take place at the Barcelona group test next week.

Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell reports that 26-year-old Indian GP2
driver Karun Chandhok, with $6 million of sponsorship in tow, may have been
signed to be Nakajima's teammate.

It is believed that Chandhok's GP2 contract, valid for 2010, contains an
exit clause in the event that a Formula One seat is available.

His father is Vicky Chandhok, a high ranking Indian motor racing official,
with links to F1's governing body FIA.

Indian media reports late last year said Chandhok Snr has "a strong
relationship" with F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, as well as with
"a host of top FIA officials".
